1. God Centered... The entire idea of this project was centered around sharing the love of Jesus Gospel message in a largely under-reached population and extending God’s Kingdom here on earth.
2. Empowering partnerships with a focus on local initiatives... The center was the dream of local churches that were already working in the area. They were looking for a way to improve their mission. AIL Ministry came alongside them and helped make that dream a reality.
3. Mutual Design... Both local leadership and AIL Ministry worked hand in sometime difficult hand to get this center done. It was a team effort all the way through.
4. Comprehensive Administration... AIL Ministry worked hard to raise the funds necessary for the center and together with our local leadership, strove to be good stewards of both the people and financial resources God had entrusted us.
5. Qualified Leadership... Again, together with locals, AIL worked to make sure that participants in this project had the tools, training and resources needed to successfully complete our portion of the project.
6. Appropriate Training... We made sure that when people took part in our STM, they saw how it was connected to God’s larger plan in Oaxaca, were prepared culturally and came with an attitude of a learner-servant, respectful of the local church.
7. Thorough Follow-Up... This is where we are now. The ministry is now in the hands of local indigenous leadership in Oaxaca and the National Baptist Convention. We will continue to work together whenever and however we can, but this season of work at Tlacolula has been completed. It was a short-term mission for Adventures in Life Ministry and that mission is now over.
